I don't get the way the energy sword works. If it can practicly cut through anything, then why can't u cut off arms and legs and stuff of your enemies? It would be pretty awesome to see an arm fall of a brute when you cut it with an energy sword. It would be cool if you could choose wat you cut off, like aiming your sword at their leg would cut off their leg. I think this is an awesome idea. Well.... i don't know if this would be an awesome idea or a cool idea I'm just saying it would seem more realistic with the sword that way.

Although that would be cool, I'd rather just see Bungie leave the sword out of Halo 3 altogether (or at least the multiplayer). The sword doesn't belong in a Sci-fi First-Person SHOOTER: it's extremely cheap and easy to use, it requires no skill, the lock on/lunge attack doesn't make any sense, and it's unbalanced.

yea, but wat if they made it weaker and they took out the lunge and slower? that would make it more fair and it would take some skill to know how to kill with it being slower

They should make the lunge not go as far.

Because needless gore is just that: needless gore. Besides, can you imagine how nuch of a -blam!- that would be to program realistically, time that could be spent tightening gameplay or creating more interactive (read: destructable) environments?

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't.

You realize that if you're calling the sword cheap, then clearly someone has used it as suh against you. And as you said, swords are out of place in a shooter. So basically, you were beaten in a "cheap" way by a guy who dared to use a sword against a gun...and won. Sounds like you just suck, no offense.
